It's CHEX-MIX...and I helped!
Megan and I went over to Grandma Berthold's house to make some chex-mix and Megan wanted to help. I was picking out the bigger pieces of cereal from the crumbs, and she stared at what I was doing the whole time. She liked that she could see me playing with the cereal but she didn't like that she could get her fingers where my fingers were.
She watched me pour all of the different kinds of goodies into the bowls. She liked the big bagel chips in the green pot. She picked up 2 of them and moved them over to the other bowl. She knew that they were going to be mixed together so she was helping with the mixing! After playing with the goodies she moved on to crinkling the plastic bags inside the cereal boxes. She also tried her best to knock over the row of boxes, but we anchored them so they wouldn't fall.
To kill time while we waited for the chex-mix to cook/bake we read some of the new stories Grandma had at her house. This week Megan has really gotten into to "reading" books. She LOVES "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" If I had to bet, I would bet that "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" will be her all time favorite book. I already have it memorized, which is good because she won't let me turn any pages. I have said that once you become a mom you are automatically able to create songs off the top of your head, well I can also create "Gray Bear, Gray Bear" verses off the top of my head too! (We call Baron "Bear" for short and he is gray. He thought they were cute verses!)
